ca 1930 pic of my mother
« on: Friday 29 June 07 22:37 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone

I have a few photos I need help with, this one is my mother in an old photo from around 1930.  It was very faded when I found it, and I used a pencil around the eyes to bring them out.

Hi Maple,

I've had trouble using the preview thingy. I can see my type but any attachments go into the ether.

Try the steps outlined below and you should be OK

cheers,

Hi

Now it says that there is an error and it won't let me post the picture.  I really don't know how large the file is.  It only says 6.89 kb

Hi All

As you can see, I am not to good at this. :-[  I rescanned the photo and it was so big that it wouldn't post.  I really don't know what to do.  At least this one is bigger than the last one.

No worries mate - you're getting on better than I did at the start.

We'll see what we can do with this pic.
